as pointed out in Essen, in a (I hope quick) future there will be the change to some people to give official QGIS certificates.<br>
These people should be authorized by the "core team" and the certification money will go to QGIS.<br>
<br>
So, for example, I'm authorized and I made a course by myself with my company to 10 people. 3 of them are interested to have an official QGIS certification, they pay something and that's all, right?<br>
<br>
In the Internet I found this website:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.coursera.org/" target="_blank">https://www.coursera.org/</a></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ah cool - thanks for this Matteo - I'll add it to the list of things to look at (along with <a href="http://taotesting.com">http://taotesting.com</a> which we are currently evaluating).</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Tim</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
<br>
it offers courses for free with scheduled homeworks, tutorials, videos, data, etc...<br>
So I can join the class for free, attend the lessons and do all the quizzes and assignments. But, if I want a "Coursera" certification that proves that I attended successfully the course I have to pay for this certification (around 50 bucks).<br>
<br>
Do you think that this method can also fit for QGIS? I mean, maybe a section in the website (or somewhere else) where you can do a course and earn an official certificate?<br>
<br>
Suggestions are welcome!!<br>
<br>
